It was so bad that I didn't even dare to step forward anymore. Why did it make the sound of cracks just a few steps ago?
Then if you keep walking forward, don't you just collapse and fall off the side?
You must know that this is shrinking upward little by little, so the distance is also leaning out little by little. Even if you fall now, there will be no fucking stairs below.
That fell directly from top to bottom, directly to the bottom.
The stairs will also pass by me. It's not that I haven't seen it. After all, if I look this way, I can see that thing clearly.
Although this thing is not obvious, and although there is a large darkness behind it, it can't block the sound.
Xie Chen was really panicking now. He was stroking the pocket watch in his hand little by little, ready to press the time pause button at any time.
"Forget it, that's all it is anyway."
After thinking about it in his mind for a while, he directly pressed such a button, and the time around him paused, and there would be no such strange sound.
Unfortunately, it will be more difficult to determine when the red dot will reappear.
But to be honest, this is a bit innocuous. At worst, when you want to let go next time, you can just cancel this thing again.
After all, stopping time is just a matter of pressing a button, and you don’t need to put much thought into it.
The advantage is that it is not controlled by Weirdness at all. Time itself is controlled by oneself, and one can also have the final say.
So it's a bit cool to think about it. If you do it more and more nights, if you can annex the weirdness itself, then maybe you can really become a part of this weird world.
To put it bluntly, it is mainly anti-customer.
It’s just not that free.
Xie Chen seemed particularly eager to try.
After pressing the pocket watch, time around him stopped.
In this way, I didn't have a physical object to refer to, but at least when I continued to move forward, there was no shattering sound for me to hear.
This also made me feel relieved.
"There shouldn't be anything else going on now, right?"
Although I wasn't sure, I still sweated a little. If the situation just happened really happened, it would be very detrimental to me.
Xie Chen continued to walk up, and the muscles in his calf were already very sore.
After walking around less than twenty steps, he was already squatting on the steps, breathing heavily.
It's not that I'm in poor physical condition. The damn steps are almost reaching my knees. To put it mildly, I can't even finish the first step.
To put it bluntly, the two steps were stepped on at the same time, and for such a distance, each step was uneven.
When I step up with my feet, I always feel a little uncomfortable, and I can't even let my body fall into the rhythm of exercise.
If it weren't for the enhanced physical fitness, no one would be able to survive it if it were a normal person.
This thing is a little too outrageous after all.
As Xie Chen walked, he observed the steps under his feet. Especially when he stopped to rest, Xie Chen directly touched them with his hands, and even stood up and kicked them down with his feet.
What I'm afraid of is that the material of this thing is completely different from when I step on it.
But this thing is actually not as unbearable as I thought. It is indeed solid cement when you step on it with your feet.
But it does look like loess.
I can't blame myself for this, the image itself is such a dick.
Xie Chen rubbed his hands helplessly, and after sitting there and resting for a while, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Chen felt that his heart rate had calmed down a little, and he continued to look up, but darkness still shrouded his head.
Xie Chen did not relax his vigilance. This situation may be out of his control at any time. Although the pocket watch ability is easy to use, it is not always tried and true.
After I suffered a loss, I became more cautious, so I was somewhat defensive in this regard.
"Then you have to see that the bottom talisman does not meet expectations."
Xie Chen just stopped breathing so hard, and then he continued to walk up. At this time, he wasted his own energy. If he could reach the top directly, he didn't want to waste all this effort.
But now the main thing is that I have no choice, and I don’t have the final say on things.
After resting twice more, I just climbed up one level.
If this were the case at the beginning when we were rushing up, I would have been unwilling to believe it even to death. There was only so much efficiency.
But now that I have experienced it myself, I can only say that there is nothing I can do.
"Huhu..."
Xie Chen not only wiped the sweat dripping down his cheeks with the back of his hand, but his chest was still rising and falling as he gasped for air. The higher he went up, the more out of breath he felt.
If I hadn't taken a proper rest, I would have been lying on the ground tired by now.
Of course, there is actually no difference.
After all, I am sitting on the steps now. If it were flat ground now, I would have just lied down on it. How could I just sit like this...
Xie Chen looked at the Internet and saw that there was not much space left. Strangely, the visibility increased significantly as he went up or down.
At least the light was much better than when it was in the middle part at the beginning, and I could now see some of the surrounding landscape clearly.
Just standing on this step and looking further away, you can even see the steps on the second floor.
But because it is square, there are a total of four small steps in a circle.
I can only see a small section of it, but I can't see the two short sections closest to me clearly. This is also a very strange thing.
It was as if someone had covered both sides of his eyes with his hands, causing his eyes to look straight ahead.
But I also know that I am satisfied. There is a huge difference between being able to see clearly and not seeing clearly.
Xie Chen pinched his neck, and his thoughts and consciousness became clearer as he went up, not as hazy as in the middle level.
But the scenes he saw were also changing.
After Xie Chen looked at it for a long time, it seemed like someone was looking at him on the stairs over there.
There is no reference now, and I don’t know whether the effect of stopping time is there or not.
After Xie Chen had almost rested, he continued to climb up.
The time spent rushing in the middle is actually a lot of time, and the route becomes particularly steep, which actually means that it is slightly weaker going straight up.
The degree of improvement is not low at all.
But until now, I haven't seen the same cracks or scratches on the corners as before. It is even particularly smooth, and some parts even have many reliefs.
It's on the same level as the bottom of Big Ben, both extremely beautiful.
"The rest has been done so hard, why is it so bad just in the middle?"
And to put it bluntly, even if it is a replica, this Big Ben must have an elevator in the middle, right?
This way, you have to climb the stairs. If there is something wrong with the clock outside, just climbing the stairs to repair it will be enough to tire you out.
But complaints are complaints, and it is not up to oneself to decide what happens in the world.
If it were really that normal, it wouldn't be a strange world.
As I continued to walk up, it took a lot of effort to reach the second short flight of stairs, and it took a lot of effort to climb it.
This is really time consuming.
Xie Chen gasped deeply, but his body was used to it. It had been done nearly six times since just now. If his mouth was not a little dry, this kind of exercise intensity would actually be okay.
At least this can keep him awake and prevent him from losing his consciousness when he is subjected to strange erosion.
"No problem, no problem..."
Xie Chen sat on the ground, holding the note in his pocket and looking at it. What was on it was no different from what he saw.
Xie Chen has now turned off the time-stopping effect of his pocket watch. He puts his hand on the ground and looks down.
Because the height is very high, the brightness is actually very bright. It is even brighter now than when it was at the bottom, and strangely, the bottom of the headlight can be directly seen from this area.
There was a lot of red liquid spreading underneath, forming puddles after puddles, as if they had been smashed there.
Xie Chen frowned and took a pair of papers, but the long red strip was missing.
"Could that thing really describe the bridge?"
Xie Chen wondered in his mind, after all, he couldn't get the answer for the time being.
But there is nothing I can do now. Things that I haven't solved yet can't be solved directly.
But the only thing that was similar to what I was thinking was my current perspective.
Sure enough, what you see is different from different perspectives.
If you don't climb to the top of Big Ben, you won't be able to see this scene clearly.
Judging from the bright red colors below, there is no need to think that the person is definitely dead. As for how he died, in fact, he already has a directional target.
No matter what, that's where I thought of going first in my heart.
"Is that unknown humanoid creature really that powerful?"
But it was already afternoon time just now. Now that I have been in Big Ben for such a long time, I don’t know what time it is outside.
What I'm afraid of is that I've already passed the time, but it shouldn't be a problem if I get home late...
Besides, it shouldn't be that outrageous. I spent at most three hours here.
It should be around six or seven o'clock in the evening when we go out to fight to the death, and it is impossible to go straight to ten o'clock.
Xie Chen sighed helplessly and patted his cheek with his palm.
"Just wake up, wake up..."
"Let's solve the immediate difficulties first, otherwise it will be useless to think so much. I don't know how long it will take just to get down from Big Ben."
Although it does take less time to go down than to go up, after all, going downstairs is easier than going upstairs, but I don't know the approximate time.
After untying the time limit, I still haven't heard the cracking sound I heard before. This makes me wonder, am I hallucinating?
Although I was very sure that what I heard was correct at first, as time went by, I became a little confused. Could it be that I had made a mistake?
Everyone will have this thought. The more doubtful you are, the more you will fall into doubt...
Xie Chen continued to look down, comparing the pictures above.
But except for the two red dots that match up, the others don't match up with the picture on paper at all.
"Is it because the angle I'm at is wrong?"
Xie Chen curled his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Now I have spent a lot of time going up and down, and my temper has become irritable again, so it is inevitable that I will feel a little impatient.
I had looked up before, but I didn't find any vents or anything like that inside the Big Ben.
At first I thought, no matter what, we are almost close to the top, so there must be some vents or observation decks, right?
After all, it is impossible for such a big Big Ben to only show the appearance. If there are really tourists or something, after coming in to visit, there must be some kind of lookout or rooftop or similar for people to look at the high place outside. landscape.
But it is obvious that he has not entered this world.
Xie Chen slapped a hand on his face, feeling a little wishful thinking.
But now that we are getting further and further into the world of ghost stories, it seems that it is not as scary as when we first came here...
Every time I experience a new dungeon, I really feel that it is not as outrageous as the first newlywed dungeon.
After comparing them for a while, Xie Chen found that the red dots at the bottom would also shift slightly. This was something he had never thought of.
If there is a deviation, it means that there are still certain influencing conditions, but I haven't thought of it yet.
"So what are the conditions?"
Xie Chen put away the pocket watch and note in his hand, stood up and talked to himself.
I don't expect to get the answer. The conditions that affect the change of the red dot below that I can find so far are to climb up little by little.
As long as you climb high enough, you will see more and bigger things.
But I also knew in my heart that it might be weird, and I wanted to go up.
After all, such a setting was set by itself. Since there is truth in this aspect, it must have real benefits for Weirdness itself.
It may not be a good thing for yourself.
But he didn't care.
He has reached the last step, but he is a little bit indifferent to his own life.
If it weren't for the fact that the chosen one would most likely drag people close to him into the dungeon after it failed, he would have been too lazy to resist.
But when I thought of this, I greeted the dead great-grandfather again.
Isn't it clear that he is trying to trick his great-grandson?
Xie Chen, who continued to go up, slowly stopped. It was now the last short flight of stairs.
"I didn't expect there to be a platform above this?"
As far as he could see, he was right in front of him. Although there was no window, the platform in front of him was extremely spacious. Even if it occupied one hundred and eighty people at the same time, it wouldn't be a problem.
You must know that this is the top of Big Ben. Most of the space on the side is occupied by the large-scale gears and machinery that run the clock dial, leaving only this little free space.
It’s strange that so many platforms can be vacated on this basis...
